Online Writing Classes

Online Writing Courses Whenever and Wherever You Have Time!

What’s the coolest place you can think of to take an online writing class? All you need is an Internet connection and you can dive in from anywhere in the world. (That’s me in the photo, typing up a lesson while floating down the Mekong River in Vietnam.)

I’m excited to be unleashing new versions of my courses in a value-packed, budget-friendly, video format. You can begin the courses whenever you like and complete them at your own pace.

What’s Included?

Each course includes a series of videos — broken into bite-sized, coffee-break-length segments you can watch any time. All of these workshops also include writing exercises to give you hands-on practice with what you’re learning, a series of bonus articles to read, and access to an online classroom where you can ask me questions, share your writing for feedback from your fellow students around the globe, trade tips and resources, or just hang out and have fun.

Great! Where do I sign up?

Globejotting: How to Write Extraordinary Travel Journals

The trips we take might last a short amount of time, but along the way, we collect some of our biggest life stories. We get to keep those stories for a lifetime – if we can remember the details. Many aspiring travel journalers, however, feel that their words fall flat, failing to capture the true spirit of their adventures, or… they simply struggle to find time to write in the middle of their exciting trips.

This video course helps fix those problems, and explains fun ways to journal so you capture lots of vivid detail in your diaries and have richer travel experiences at the same time. You get 75 minutes of video lessons, split into short, easy-to-digest segments, plus membership in our online travel journaling forum where you can ask questions, share tips and techniques with other students, and more.

Globejotting 2.0: Travel Writing and Publishing

Geared toward beginning and intermediate travel writers, this workshop includes more than three hours worth of video lessons, and teaches how to transform your “rough draft” travel journals into polished stories you can share with friends, post on a blog, or publish professionally.

Professional Humor Tricks for Writers, Speakers, and Other Misfits

Discover the techniques professional comedy writers use to write consistently, exceptionally funny material. This will teach you how to think, write, and be funnier. (You will not learn how to smell funnier. You must figure out that part on your own.)

Each lesson offers techniques and exercises to help incite maximum laughs. You’ll discover your unique writing strengths, develop your own voice and personal style, and identify and fix common mistakes that might be holding you back from being as funny as you can be.
